Question
Answer
Hyperlipidemia & disease states it causes...   Coronary artery disease  
🗑
Where are lipoproteins synthesized?   found in the plasma--transport Triglys & Cholesterol. Syth in intestinal mucosa and liver.  
🗑
Know comp of lipoproteins   IN terms of: Triglys: CH>VLDL>LDL>HDL Protein: HDL>LDL>VLDL>CH Cholesterol: LDL>HDL>VLDL>HDL  
🗑
MOA of Gemfibrozil   Inhibits VLDL synth and increases lipoprotein lipase activity. Lipoprotein lipase stops production of cholesterol in the liver.  
🗑
MOA of Lovastatin   HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (produces cholesterol in the liver)  
🗑
MOA Cholestraymine   Decreases LDL-Resins that to (-) charged bile acids in the small intestines complex is excreted in the feces.  
🗑
SE if Niacin   fluching/itching  
🗑
Eg of a HmG CoA reductase inhibitor:   Simvastatin, Lovastatin  
🗑
What occurs in the clotting cascade:   St.1: 2 pathways come to the same point: Create/activate factor10-->10A-->prothrombinase St.2: Prothrombinase converts prothrombin to thrombin St. 3: Thrombin--> converts fibrinogen to fibrin=clot.  
🗑
Where does Heparin work on the clotting cascade?   Intrinsic pathway-complexes with naturally occurring antithrombin 3 to enhance its activity. *Protamine is the anitdote.  
🗑
How does warfarin work?   Blood thinner. Prevents DVT, PE and MI. Mimics VK causes body to make abnormal clotting factors. Will lead to excessive bleeding. Low VK foods/no NSAIDS.  
🗑
Low molecular weight Heparins do what?   Accelerates the inhibition of factor 10A. Used to prevent and treat thromboembolisms. Advantages compared to heparin: Long 1/2 life, better SC availibility, home use, reduced monitoring  
🗑
Thrombolytics   Degrades clots that are already formed. Streptokinase-MOA activates plasminogen to plasmin. Also inhibits the formulation of fibrin.  
🗑
Class of Clopidogrel?   Antithrombotic "Plavix" MOA inhibits ADP induced platelet aggregation.  
🗑
How to anticoagulants work?   They inhibit coagulation by antagonizing Vit K in the synthesis of Prothrombin and factors 7,9, and 10 in the liver. (extrinsic)  
🗑
Know the different classes of anticoagulation drugs?   Thrombolytics-clot busters Antithrombotics-Prevent platelet agregation Anticoagulants-Mimics VK  
🗑
Define COPD   COPD-Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Obstruction in the respiratory tract. Fibrotic changes in the in the lining of the lungs. No cure  
🗑
Define Emphysema   destruction of the alveolar walls causing holes in lungs. No cure  
🗑
Which system effects GMP & cAMP?   SNS activates stimulation of cAMP PNS activates stimulation of cGMP  
🗑
Theophylline   Xanthine compound found in coffee, tea, cocoa. INhibits an intracellular enzyme Phosphodiesterase. Results in increased levels of cAMP = Broncholdilation  
🗑
Cromolyn sodium   INtereres with the antigen/antibody rxb to release mast cell mediators. Prophylactic-not a bronchodilator. for asthma  
🗑
Mucolytics   chem agents that liquefy bronchial mucus. Acetylcysteine.  
🗑
Expectorants   agents that stimulate the production of respiratory secretions, which then decrease the irritation and cough caused by dryness of the airways . OUtput of respiratory secretion s increased and cough is suppressed.  
🗑
Beta agonists   adrenergic drugs that selectively stimulate the B2 receptors. Eg. albuterol/salmeterol  
🗑
Corticosteroids   for acute inflammation & allergic conditions. MOA inhibit the inlfammatory response that occur in the respiratory airways.  
🗑
What agents stimulate the parietal cell to produce acid?   Gastric acid secretion is stimulated when food enters the stomach--> more acid is secreted by the acid hormone gastrin--> stimulates parietal cells to produce acid. G, ACH. Histamine enter Parietal cell receptors to produce acid.  
🗑
Which drugs are considered GI stimulants?   For treatment of GERD. Metoclopromide-MOA induce contraction in the upper GI tract. Prevents reflux in the esophagus. other MOA: stimulates contraction of the lower esophageal sphincter.  
🗑
Factors that create ulcers   emotional stress, smoking, spicy foods, bacteria, alcohol  
🗑
how do antispasmotics work   For abdominal cramping. Don't exhibit ACH activity. They are used for their ability to relax intestinal smooth muscle. If this works--the cause is emo stress. Dicyclomine  
🗑
How do antacids work?   Pain reliever. MOA neutralized gastric activity. Reacts with hydrochloric acid to form H2O and salt. The H+ ions are used to form water gastric acidity decreases & the pH of the stomach juices increase.  
🗑
name 2 types of ulcers   Duodenal ulcers-food relieves painq Gastric ulcers-food exacerbates pain  
🗑
What are H2 blockers?   H2 blockers-block H2 receptors to prevent activation of parietal cell.  
🗑
Cimetadine/Famotadine   H2 Blockers  
🗑
Sucralfate   "stomach band-aid" Neither an antacid nor an antisecretory drug. Liquid/tablet/suspension. MOA enhances mucosal defense by a local action at the site of the ulcer.  
🗑
Kaolin/pectin   absorbent to treat simple diarrhea  
🗑
Bella donna alkaloids   Anti ACH simple diarrhea  
🗑
Loperimide   Narcotic derivative simple diarrhea  
🗑
Opiates   opium Simple diarrhea  
🗑
How do stimulant laxitives work? Who should not use them?   Directly irritate the mucosal lining of the intestines. Ulcer pts?  
🗑
